Graffiti: Ready for myB'game

I hate graffiti as does almost everyone else. B'game struggles with it like everyone else. There's a description of a cool app and the supporting anti-graffiti service that San Mateo has in the SF Examiner here. As the piece notes

The city of San Mateo recently unveiled a mobile app designed to make it easier for community members to report graffiti vandalism and for city contractors to respond to such cases. The app, called mySanMateo, is available for Apple and Android devices, and it allows users to attach photos and precise GPS coordinates to their service requests.

The contract details as provided by Assistant City Manager Matt

Bronson said the app developer, App-Order, is a sister company of the city’s new graffiti abatement contractor, Graffiti Protective Coatings. Therefore, the $8,000 monthly bill covers not only the app and its associated Web reporting and tracking technology, but also the physical work of removing graffiti.

Being a much smaller city, we should be quite a bit less than the $96K per year, we may already use the company and just need to app access. I'm ready for myB'game!
